Hello Friends and Family! Welcome to our summer series that is focused on helping us understand and apply the idea of faith in God to our lives. We’re so thrilled you came. Our prayer is that each one of us will hear and encounter God in a clear and personal way while we’re together. May you leave here inspired to make a difference in your sphere of influence.“The Arena: Inspiring a Generation of Champions” is about what can happen as we move beyond our fears and give our all to the race God has set before us. It’s about the encouragement we can get from others who are living by faith. It’s also about the encouragement we can get from studying God’s Hall of Faith from Hebrews 11. As we focus on the arena of competition during the 2012 Olympics, we will see how competing well encourages and inspires others. Today, we get to take a look at Abraham and Sarah. Their response to God’s call in their lives can inspire everyone to live full-on to pursue God’s specific calling. Please stop by our Next Step Bookstore and look over the books I selected to help you take your next step of faith.Pastor Ron
